SATA SSDs have one advantage though - their size. You don't see m.2 form factor SSDs going well over 8TBs, but for a larger SATA drive you can find >8TBs easily. Samsung had the best offering for this recently - Samsung SSD 870 QVO The enterprise world has U2, but us plebs don't really have a comparable alternative.

No advantage over SAS here - it's the same form factor.

Problem here is I haven't seen SAS connectors in any consumer motherboard.

Yeah, you need an adapter. Search on eBay for "freeNAS" and "LSI" and you'll find a bunch listed for way under $100.
